In other words, Finding if the company is a Scam or not? Now many online services are providing email services for free and many are they that use this platform for illegitimate purposes.
Users are getting most scam mails from the UK, Nigeria, Cote d’Ivoire, South Africa and Asia. Most people have shared their experiences such as “ You’ve won a Lottery, Cars, Millions of cash, Jobs vacancies and many more.. So How to know which one is real?………

Visit Company’s Official Website


When you get messages from a stranger like ‘you’ve won tons of money, the first thing you need do is:

Find out the company’s name,
Check out the company’s official website, also be sure to check whether everything they say about themselves is what you find.
Don’t forget to check out the company contact details such as telephone number and address. It should match the address found on that message sent by an stranger.

Verify the Company’s Policy, Documents….


As there will be some restriction for every company it should be added over on their site. So check for the company’s legal documents. You may even check their privacy policy, about their works, disclaimer and more, just for verifying that they are standard and not CHEATS. Also try to know more about the staffs working in the company and try to ask for stranger’s name. This can make you satisfied for about 20%.

Surf the Company’s Name on the Internet


You can search the company’s name by typing it on Google’s search engine. If you find something related to the company, go about reading the reviews, comments and more. All the reviews found on internet are true and accurate. So, try to post some questions about the company on popular Question & Answers sites like Yahoo answers and on other forums. Doing this things makes it easier.

[b]Search with Authority Websites[/b]


Most countries have authority sites and are controlled by Governments. They have company registration details and other database which can assist you more on this case. Below are some authority websites available for verifying the status of a company:
For US/Canada -Better Business Bureau http://www.bbb.org/
For UK – Company House http://www.companieshouse.gov.uk/
For Nigeria http://new.cac.gov.ng/home/
For India – Ministry of Corporate Affairs http://www.mca.gov.in/

For Australia – ABN Lookup http://www.abr.business.gov.au/Index.aspx

Check Company’s details with Who.is
Its a good idea to check a company’s registration detail with who.is rather than checking on authority websites. Just type the company domain details on who.is and get more information about the company. Just check the websites, mail id, contact address, geographical location, date of registration and more.

How can you Protect Yourself from Online Cheaters

Don’t trust anyone quickly. Online cheaters are now going for Identity theft by using technologies. So you should be alert while sharing your personal information on social networking sites. Many people share their personal details over internet and scammers take full advantage of it. Most scammers are finding the way to cheat common people by using their credit cards, debit cards and more. So my advice is Not to share your personal information such as Pin numbers, Passwords, Account numbers, Social Security Numbers. to anyone unless they are your family or legal advisers. If you trust anyone quickly then its all your fate and you will soon be cheated. So always be warned yourself and think a while before processing anything.
Final Thoughts
Don’t dream to become rich without working hard. I guaranty you that you can make huge money by putting some hard effects on your works. My final words are Not to get stuck up on these scam issues.
